    OK here's one for the ladies (or men if you're into it!). I'm a huge Benefit fan and would be an even bigger one if I could afford it but what's your favourite make-up brand? xx

    Re: What's your favourite make-up brand?
    No offence but i've not tried one Benefit product that I haven't found to be very lacking and cheap in quality. I think they put a lot of money into their advertising and "cutesy" packaging. Maybe you've found the hidden gems though??
    I use all sorts of makeup drugstore and high end, but probably Chanel would be my favourite as the majority of my daily products are Chanel.

    I don't really have a favourite brand. But if I have to choose I'll choose Belle Pierre, their foundation is amazing.

    Why have you left out MAC when they're better than most of the brands there? Most of the ones on your list remind me of old ladies.

    Oh and Barry m

    I'm jealous of anyone who is able to afford MAC.

    My fave is probably Bourjois... I love the Healthy Mix foundaton and the chocolate bronzer.

    Re: What's your favourite make-up brand?
    In fairness there's about 100 different make up brands... they can't all be listed in a poll...

    I like them for different things..

    Foundation - Make up Forever or Bourjois
    Powder - MAC or Max Factor
    Eyeshadows - most of them are good, but best are probably MAC, and Urban Decay for the Naked Palette.
    Eyeliner - Rimmel Kohl
    Bronzer - Dior
    Mascara - Chanel Inimitable, or L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes
    Lip balm - MAC tinted lip conditioner.
    Lipgloss/lipstick - MAC or Chanel

    If I had to restrict myself to a single brand for life, it would probably be MAC, Chanel, or L'Oreal.

    Re: What's your favourite make-up brand?
    Foundation: Illamasqua or Bobbie Brown
    Blusher: MAC
    Eyeliner: Rimmel Kohl
    Mascara: YSL or Maybelline
    Lipstick/Lipgloss: MAC

    Despite all that..I only wear makeup on occasions..for everyday use, I only use eyelash curlers..sometimes mascara and a bit of eyeliner max.

    It depends on the product.

    Brands I like for makeup:

    Armani (amazing products)
    Dior
    Estee Lauder (so underrated!)
    Stila (eye prods esp)
    Shu Uemura (amazing)
    Urban Decay (for eye products)
    L'Oreal (pretty good for non high end)
    GOSH (primers, foundation, concealer)
    Revlon (good for drugstore brand)
    Chanel

    Like most people said, it depends on the product for me.....but I voted other since if I had to choose it'd be MAC. My friend works for their events team and she's taking me to the staff shop in London next week - so excited!

    Urban Decay, their eyeshadow staying power is second to none.

    Foundation: Clinique mmm :love: decent coverage, yet it feels like you're wearing nothing at all.
    Blusher: MAC or No 7. I'm never too fussy about what brand blusher I wear though. My £1.99 Natural Collection blusher does just as well.
    Lipstick: Everything from Maybelline to MAC. But recently I've been wearing a red Topshop lipstick. I'm was quite sceptical at first, but it is honestly one of the best quality lipsticks I've ever used! Amazing.
    Rarely wear eyeshadow but when I do, it would have to be MAC.

    It depends on which type of make up - it's Rimmel for foundation, powder and blusher, L'Oreal for eyeliner, Maxfactor for mascara and nice littel indie hemp-based products for lip balm.
